Cyber Pre-Sales Solutions Architect in Manchester

We’re looking for a Cyber Pre-sales Solutions Architect to join our Pre-sales and Solutions Team working closely with clients and internal teams on major cyber security projects, including single-tower and multi-tower bids involving managed services, data, governance, risk, and compliance. You’ll work closely with Sales and Bid Management teams to translate requirements into effective solution designs, ensuring cyber security considerations are integrated throughout the process. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex challenges, communicating technical ideas clearly, and collaborating across disciplines to deliver impactful solutions.

Hybrid working: The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of Company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.

Your role:

• Guide and coordinate cyber security solution design for complex bids, ensuring alignment with client requirements, internal standards, and regulatory frameworks.
• Lead the technical aspects of pre-sales engagements, including opportunity qualification, solution design, and client presentations.
• Develop and maintain governance and compliance documentation, ensuring adherence to standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR, NIS2, and UK regulations.
• Provide technical input for bids, including cost modelling, risk assessments, and solution architecture clarification through workshops and scoping sessions.
• Act as a trusted advisor, sharing best practices, emerging technologies, and maintaining up-to-date knowledge of cyber security trends.
• Coordinate resources and timelines to align solution capacity with sales pipeline and project delivery requirements.

Your skills and experience:

• Strong knowledge of cyber security principles and compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR, NIS2, ISA/IEC 62443).
• Experience in solution design for complex IT/security projects, including bid management and cost modelling in regulated sectors.
• Experience in pre-sales, proposal development, and building trusted client relationships.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills for cross-functional collaboration.
• Expertise in technical scoping, architecture design, and integration of security tools and processes, including cloud security and identity management.
• Ability to manage governance, risk, and compliance requirements within solution designs and assess risks effectively.
• A continuous learning mindset to stay current on emerging threats, technologies, and secure development practices.
